His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik -- I bought it and thought the font was too tiny to read and put it aside. I haven't opened it since I redownloaded it after Sony switched to epub. It even went free for a while and I felt bad about paying for it and not reading it.

Another one (bought at the same time) is World Without End by Ken Follett. I really liked The Pillars of the Earth -- read as a paper book -- but haven't been able to get past the first few pages even after several attempts. I keep trying though since the reviews assure me that I will love it!

I read His Majesty's Dragon recently and I loved it. I got the ebook while it was free, shortly BEFORE I got my ereader a few years ago. I don't know what caused me to finally read it, nothing else was capturing my interest. Anyway I'm really glad I finally read it!

And I just walked by a big hardcover copy of World Without End on the sidewalk in my neighborhood today... and I kept right on walking, didn't even pick it up to look at it. I haven't read the first one.

I enjoyed the first couple of books in the series, but then it got too political and social-message-y for my tastes, and so I dropped it.

I keep avoiding A Confederacy of Dunces. I gave up 50 pages in and deleted it in disgust. Then Audible had the audiobook free so I picked that up and my husband loved it, but I still can't bring myself to go there.

Historical novels are my procrastination read. Took me a month to get through Catherine the Great, and I'm stilling finishing up Jerusalem and Founding Gardeners from March. I love reading them (especially enjoying Founding Gardeners with a different perspective on Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and Monroe), but I can only read these books for an hour or two in one sitting.
Truman, Churchill, Lincoln, FDR - all just took forever.
Yet, I can curl up with the hunger games and finish it in an afternoon. Go figure.

I was reminded by another thread where someone took a swipe at the "society" in which "we" allegedly live. However, this may have nothing to do with the book. Anyway, it has always seemed to me a great title.

You people that are putting off reading the Song of Ice and Fire series need to get on the ball.

It's a huge series, and you'll probably be reading it for months (it took me nine months, but I was also reading other things along with it), but it's so good. You will fall in love with the characters and not want it to end. I finished the fifth book earlier this month and now I'm contemplating re-reading from the beginning because it's that entertaining.

I just started the series myself. I am almost half way through the first book and I am enjoying it immensely. Can't wait for the other books.

Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. I still haven't read it after knowing about it for a good twenty-five years. It's on my list to read this year and would finish off my decade challenge, but I still haven't picked it up.
